Them bloons are smarter than you think

I finally have graduated, so I'm hoping to get a video out a week for at least a little while. Also let me know if you liked the video, I might try to expand into some other games for some more very unintended ideas

Ah yes, this is the first thing I also think of when I play Bloons Tower Defense 6

Never before in my life I have seen something as transcendent as Bloons TD videogames series. I believe that desire to pop bloons lies deep in the foundations of human behaviour and is that exact thing that led to the creation of civilization of man. Everything that I have ever expirienced, from my studies in Sidney Sussex College, through becoming puritan, fighting a war, ruling entirety of British Isles for five years, to even faking my own death in 1658, made me realise that popping bloons is what every human ultimately ought to do. But I guess building a calculator work aswell.

13:23 There actually is, and in fact, you actually have used it by accident without even realizing it! The Inferno Ring, while itself cannot see camo, the flaming ball that it sometimes shoots off actually can! No idea why it can, but it can! Hope this helps!

Have you tried using regrow bloons? The current approach always decreases the number of bloon layers available and is therefore unable to create a NOT gate, but regrows should solve that issue. Importantly, you should be able to get some fan, since popping a high-level regrow spawns two children. My guess is maybe zebras as 1’s and blacks as 0’s will work.

One idea for an AND gate I have with zebras and blacks is to try to freeze the top path and then shoot across the top to the bottom path. The bottom path would then be the output. The idea is that a zebra on top would absorb the damage, while a black would be frozen and not be in place to block the damage. I think that this doesn’t quite work out, but there might be something to the general idea

I'm always impressed by how easy you make the whole problem solving look. I always try to "think with you" while watching a video and I have to say I usually can't come to the solutions you come up with. Keep it up

this is cool and all, but i can do 1+1 in my head, come back when it does something actually impressive, like 1+1+1 🙄
EDIT: just finished watching the vid, and I am blown away, I retract all previous negative sentiment

So, uhh, how are you gonna make a calculator?

Even though it isn't as big as your other calculators, it shows really well how to understand logic gates and how you can make them out of pretty much anything.
You just gotta define what a 1 and a 0 is.

I just finished taking a Digital Electronics course at my school and actually understand everything in the video, and yet i’m still so in shock you made it work in. Phenomenal job.

Maybe get somebody to make a mod for you do change the amount of paths. Or actually, I believe that people have done some custom maps before the map editor was out, so you could also try that method. Anyways, this is a crazy video, I never would have thought to create logic gates in BTD6

the "no monkey zone" means you wont be able to place monkeys there, doesnt effect line of sight or projectile throwing as far as i know. you can check some map editor tutorials for more info on each type of object and how to edit them

14:02 I've been trying to learn how to fix graphics cards recently and this reminded me of how they make zig-zags with traces on PCBs to transmit data using differential pairs (for example, PCI Express). Funny how a silly monkey game made into a logic gate simulator and actual real sophisticated hardware can have simillar problems and solutions :) Great video!

Maybe try using regrow bloons? They might help with the problem of having to send one piece of data across multiple paths, as all regrow bloons stronger then black regrow (including black regrow bloons) can duplicate (because when they're popped they pop into 2 bloons, which when regrow, regenrate back to their original layer)

definitely expected btd6 from an electrical engineering gamer channel.
but really i appreceate what you do and i look up to you, you're the reason i want to be an engineer.
